In addition to Case-Shiller, and CoreLogic, I'm also watching the FNC, Zillow and several other house price indexes.

FNC released their September 2016 index data. FNC reported that their Residential Price Index™ (RPI) indicates that U.S. residential property values increased 0.4% from August to September (Composite 100 index, not seasonally adjusted).

The 10 city MSA increased 0.4% (NSA), the 20-MSA RPI increased 0.5%, and the 30-MSA RPI also increased 0.5% in September. These indexes are not seasonally adjusted (NSA), and are for non-distressed home sales (excluding foreclosure auction sales, REO sales, and short sales).

The index is still down 9.2% from the peak in 2006 (not inflation adjusted).

This graph shows the year-over-year change based on the FNC index (four composites) through September 2016. The FNC indexes are hedonic price indexes using a blend of sold homes and real-time appraisals.

Most of the other indexes are also showing the year-over-year change in the mid single digit range.

Note: The September Case-Shiller index will be released on Tuesday, November 29th.
